Saturday marks the SEC opener for Alabama and South Carolina. The Gamecocks will need to be physical up front and keep things close in the first half to have a chance at beating the No. 2 team in the country at home. Nick Saban will face former assistant Will Muschamp, who was on his staff at LSU from 2001-04.

Other than one slow quarter vs. Duke in the first game, Alabama has been running on all cylinders. The Tide have allowed just 13 points in two games, including a 62-10 win against New Mexico State last weekend. Tua Tagovailoa went 16-for-24 with 227 yards and three touchdowns and No. 1 wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had eight catches for 103 yards. Keep an eye on Alabama’s young offensive line and running backs rotation as the team tries to find the right mix.
South Carolina has lost its last five SEC home openers and will have a tough time breaking that streak. However, if they do indeed get the huge upset, it’ll likely be because of freshman quarterback Ryan Hilinski. After taking the place of injured QB Jake Bentley, Hilinski completed 80 percent of his passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in a 72-10 win over Charleston Southern. He also ran for a score on a day USC set a school record with 775 yards of offense.
